I’m trying to find the quote… but at a brewfest he said “no good beers come from Colorado”. I’ve heard it from multiple sources but cant find it on the intertubes… so I’m wondering what was really said. I’m the mean I guess I’m only semi-boycotting

Rather than quote some bullshit hallmark card, I’ll just say, “Good on ya.” Once he gets past his trial period and you get past the cautious weirdness, then it’s just that much less negativity for you to carry.

Yeah, I know. What bothers me is I paid a gross amount for this computer two years ago expecting it would last a while and would only need parts upgrades (i.e. graphics card). It’s the most expensive computer I bought, but the shortest time a hard drive has lasted. :getlost:

I have next week off. Hubby and I were going to tear down our garden shed and put up a new one. The contractors are still here.
I’m actually upset over this. They started two weeks late and it looks like they’ll be at least a week over time. Hubby and I had all sorts of plans for next week that may have to be cancelled because we don’t like to leave the house alone with just the contractor. Call us paranoid

Tony’s description of the St. Louis heat fell somewhat short of the mark. Ad “hummidity so thick you could cut it with a knife” to his “hottest temps in a long time” and you will be closer to the scenario.

Now I’m upset. Assassin’s Creed 3 has this beautiful limited edition with a statue, flag and other cool stuff… for XBox and Playstation only. If you own a PC, all your collector’s edition loot is in the form of DLC only. I want the statue!!!

So… who here plans to play Assassin’s Creed 3 on either xbox or PS3? If you pre-order the Special edition, you get all the cool stuff. I might be willing to make a deal for everything that isn’t the game itself (and console DLC that might come with the game). Any possible takers?

We watched the first Spiderman last night and are gonna watch 2 this evening. Its the first time the kids have seen Spiderman films. Think I’ll keep it that way at least til “Amazing” comes out on DVD. Cause if it really is the quintessential “why again?” remake that everyone says, I’ll save my movie going money for something else.

My son found out he is getting assigned to Fort Carson in Colorado when he gets done in South Korea in December. Looks like I will have a good reason to visit Colorado soon. Woo-hoo!

I found out that Ft. Carson is 40 miles north of Pueblo and tried joking with my son about writing for further information to Pueblo, Colorado. Then needed to spend 10 minutes explaining public service announcements and how, when we had to fight off dinosaurs before the internet took care of them, we had to send away for information through the “mail”. It’s not often I feel old, but this certainly did it.

You’d think that this particular group of Catholics would take into consideration how much persecution that Christians in general are getting from ruling Muslim parties in India and NOT be so quick to prosecute others.

So last year I introduced Jack Whyte to my favourite whiskey. He sent me a message today saying he looked it up and that particular whiskey was four times the price where he lives. He’s coming out in August and asked me to get him a couple of bottles to take back home. Ah, another convert.

I still really like Legend of Korra for the same reason I liked the original Avatar series. I get sick and tired of children’s shows where there are stereotypical bad guys and good guys with character growth only allowed for the good guys. The Avatar series keep all the characters as shades of grey. Kind of like Kiddie Watchmen.

The only problem I had with Korra was that they felt the need to tell a complete story in one season so things seemed a bit rushed compared to the original series.

I too still enjoyed it. It was a bit rushed with the “healing”, but I think it also keeps them from falling into the trap of spending the next several seasons of her relearning her powers. That would just be a redo of Ang’s path.

Hubby and I just tore down half our garden shed. It’s now pushing 30C here (86F and not even noon) so we thought we’d quit for the day before we gave ourselves sunstroke. Will tear the rest of it down tomorrow morning.
